Panel – Conversations with absences – Gustavo Caboco, Almires Martins Guarani, Boe Liberio & Tipuici Manoki

On October 28, the panel Conversations with absences will take place at the 35th Bienal de São Paulo, in which the artist Gustavo Caboco, together with Almires Martins Guarani, Boe Liberio and Tipuici Manoki will present the digital work Ausências ou sintomas? [Absences or symptoms?] and the publication “Isso tudo não me diz nada” [“All of this tells me nothing”], the result of an invitation from the Fundação Bienal to the artist to think about/research the Indigenous presences/absences in the Arquivo Histórico Wanda Svevo in 2022. The project proposes a debate on impermanence and Indigenous absences in the archive, based on questions such as: what is an archive? Does this idea, this practice, apply to Indigenous populations? What could become an Indigenous archive?
